There - And Back Again
May. 6th, 2008 07:43 amWell, I'm back. Obviously. It was a grand trip, even if a little bit exhausting. One wouldn't believe that a small country of only 20,273 square kilometres would have so many different landscapes and climates - but it has.
I had a weirdly Tolkienesque feeling along the whole trip. We've been to the Glittering Caves of Aglarond (the immense limestone caves of Postojna, which would have made any Dwarf-friends among us faint with pleasure) and to a Dwarven fortress (the castle of Predjama, which has been built in the very mouth of a cave and under which is antoher underground labyrinth of caves and escape works). Dís, Aislynn and Ro would have been pleased, I'm sure.
We've been to Rohan, i.e. to see the mother herd of all Lippizaners, in the town Lipica where this race of horses was first breed and is still being bred. Isabeau, Jasta and Jillian would have been in thorews of ecstasy, I think.
We've seen Kheled-zâram, surrounded by the snowy peaks of the Misty Mountains (Lake Bled, actually), with another castle perched upon a sheer rock, and the Long Lake (Lake Bohinj), the water of which was so clear that you could see the two thousand metres high mountains hang upside downin the water like in a mirror, amking the dizzling impression of double height.
We were also in a small coastal town named Piran and in the capital, Ljubljana, which were also beautiful, and the Adriatic Sea so incredibly blue one had to see it to believe.
More details as well as picspam will be available here, on my LJ as soon as I have finished labelling the pics I've made - all 137 of them. *g*
